Me too. Highly recommended. I'm running everything from all major versions of DOS, BeOS, all versions of windows, 6+ linux distros, and some experimental stuff like MinuetOS, etc.

Yes, great for playing around / sandboxing / trying stuff out.

Yep, I've found the same thing. I'm probably going to change from dynamic to static hdd images (which don't expand). It will mean some more disk space is used on host, but defrag issues on host will be greatly reduced.

I've had no problems here (providing the OS is supported by VBox and the guest additions).
